Area of Science:

  • Environmental health
  • Public health education
  • Vector control

Context:

  • Dengue fever is a significant public health concern in Honduras.
  • Aedes aegypti mosquito is the primary vector for dengue transmission.
  • Primary schools provide a platform for community-based health interventions.

Purpose:

  • To describe the Environmental School Program (PEA) in Honduras.
  • To evaluate the program's effectiveness in dengue control.
  • To assess the program's impact on knowledge, skills, and community participation.

Summary:

  • The Environmental School Program (PEA) was implemented in Honduran primary schools from 2005-2010.
  • The program focused on educating children, parents, and teachers about Aedes aegypti breeding site identification and control, and waste management.
  • Satisfactory results were observed in behavioral changes and reduced larval indices in most participating schools.

Impact:

  • PEA successfully reduced larval indices and promoted community participation in environmental and Aedes control efforts.
  • The program demonstrated the effectiveness of school-based interventions in public health.
  • Integration of environmental health education into the national curriculum is pending, highlighting a future opportunity.
